少し前ですが、２月１２日は山陰の冬とは思えない快晴！この日、横浜の塾の教え子が松江を訪ねてくれました。先ずは堀川遊覧。午後着だったので下船して一服後、県立美術館あたりまで夕陽を見に。「うわ～、今日は最高！」。最近は中国からのスモッグと黄砂でかすみ、昔のような深紅の夕陽が見れなくなったと聞きましたが、雨続きで不純物が空気から「除染」されていたのか、久々の鮮やかな夕陽。毎日、松江を訪れる旅人にこれを見せてあげたい！
ところでこの日、「さよなら島根原発大集会」も催されました。地元と全国から集まった方々１３００人の集会とパレード。教え子が着くまで１時間ほど集会に参加。パレードは堀川遊覧から。
Matsue is very famous for its beautiful sunset falling down into Lake Shinji. However, its beauty has beeen recently blured by smog and yellow sand blowing in from China. But I grabed the right moment, after a long spell of rains and snows, which washed away those hazards, and was fasinated by the crimson world. I wish all the tourists visiting Matsue could experience this wonder of nature.
By the way, on this rare sunny day 1300 people from all over Japan held a gathering and paraded the city to demand the dismantle of the Shimane Nuclear Power Plants. It's really scary to live only 8km (5miles) away from nukes. I had a guest on this day, so I just attended the gathering and joined them from the cruising moat boat. If you are anti-nuke-power-plants-on-the-earthquake-country, please sign the petition here.
